Recently I surveyed 50 scientists. Asked them what their favorite food was.
Answer most given-chili.

A step further revealed why that is.
Chili represents the 3 stages of matter-
1) Liquid.
2) Solid.
3) Eventually gas.

38 said chili.
6 said stew.
4 said soup.
2 said salad.

Would said survey have been biased through a lack of sample size, or geographical culinary bias?

Is this a real survey or a joke?

Aaah. Glad to hear it. I may not be this rigorous always myself, but I am a stickler for scientific method.

(Insert a smiley of an ancient man here, hahahahaha)
